Get over it, none of you have done anything to convince me otherwise.

I find that sort of thinking rather counter productive. Are you saying, for example, that the money Bill Gates gives to charity (billions a year by the way) are somehow less valid than someone living in rag doing the same thing?
I think you are really getting hung up on the fact that he is a superstar with a big ego... Why should I care what the goof does for living if in his philanthropic pursuits (which he claims takes up about 50% of his time) he does something to better the world on a grand scale?
You nay-saying smacks of the same attitude that suggests that any musician who signs with a big label, "Isn't keeping it real." A tiresome arguement.
